Who we are & what we do

We hold regular work parties to remove ivy from City of Salem Parks.

We provide education to Salem residents about ivy and how to remove it.

Salem No-Ivy Coalition members include residents, City Parks staff, representatives from Marion Soil and Water Conservation District, Polk Soil and Water Conservation District, watershed councils, and others.

Our volunteers do not work to remove ivy from private property. We recommend that land owners hire a experienced landscaper for private property invasive plant removal.

2) The Watershed Protection & Preservation Grant. This would be appropriate for a group of neighbors with steep properties &/or living along riparian areas; they could apply as a group for funds to hire a contractor to remove the ivy on their groups' properties.
